Dad is 1337

My dad is in the middle of a flame war. On the internet. My dad. Perma!n00b. Of course what's actually happening is that he's dictating & I'm sending emails myself, then he's enjoying the results. I'm giving him the benefit of my 'wisdom' by showing him the best & most efficient ways to go about this. For example:
Other guy: blah blah tl;dr zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz for many pages
Dad: NO U

This is so much fun.

ILIT when parents start using the internet. My dad's six month addiction to Counterstrike? Full of lols!

OMG my mum & the Sims. You would not believe how much she loves that game.

That's hilarious. I'm always asking my dad to get the internet but he never does.

Most of the time it's more trouble than it's worth, but occasionally he'll do something like this!

My mom's always bitching about this snobby cunt on her knitting mailing list; perhaps I will follow your lead and share some A!T style smackdowns with her.

Cunt: "I rly think I should be in charge of yarn selection for this event."
Mom: "LOL FATTY."

What is your dad's flamewar about?

Oh, my dad's running club is having a... thing. IDK. There's this one guy who's upset he's not the centre of attention.

That is so awesome. I would almost be willing to hold my parents' hands past finding the icon to start Firefox if they got into crap like that.

So much hand holding! But occasionally it's worth it :)

LOL! Sorta reminds me when I my dad showed me the message boards where the best Bollywood flamewars happened. ;)

That is so much cooler than my mum's recent discovery of Facebook (She put pictures of me on it. Why, mother, why?)

I haven't shown him how to work the scanner yet. I still haven't gotten over him showing my bf the baby pictures.
